One final note...

Henri never did catch up with Sunel in the Tent Compition. He had to put up her tent as well as his own. I just thought I'd let you all know how it turned out.

You never appreciate what you have until you lose it. But a country is not something you can easily lose, and we are back and it is still here.

Day 42-Jan15: Katima Mulilo

We were planning on crossing the border into Namibia today, but sometimes things don't go as planned. My smile was ready and the champagne about to pop, but we were too late.

Significant numbers:

We drove to the Crater Lake after we got up and started moving. It is a great view, but it was almost the sight of a bad accident for my auntie Chrisna.

This morning we took our time getting up. We did some much-needed laundry and even fixed our cars, all of this within the comfort of our camp.

Day 26 - Dec30: Ngorongoro to Arusha

I didn't sleep so well through the night, don't know why. But I got up, and we packed up camp as usual.

Day 25 - Dec 29: Ngorongoro

We are now in the Ngorongoro Reserve. Not a cheap price to pay for entrance, I can tell you that.

Day 24 - Dec 28 : Lake Manyara

Today was one of those days where I could just sleep late. Too bad those over Landers were noisy; they woke me and then I couldn't fall into deep sleep. And I got up and we drove into town.
